TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin will undergo surgery on his left non-throwing wrist in April but is expected to be 100 percent for voluntary summer workouts.
Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson said this week that the procedure involves repairing a fractured bone that Boykin played with for much of last season while wearing a soft cast.
TCU starts spring practice on Friday and Boykin will be involved until he misses final week when he has the surgery.
“We’re going to make sure that gets fixed right,” Patterson said. “He won’t go through the last three practices of spring, three or four. We’ll get that done so he’s ready to go come August.”
Boykin did not miss a game last year after sustaining the injury in October. After a breakout 2014 season in which he was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, the senior is expected to enter 2015 as a Heisman Trophy candidate.
